Deadmau5X: MOAR Mods 'N Stuff

[Kracka]

As for the powdercoating, Kracka dropped off his o2/dp yesterday for the ceramic coating and I asked him to take a look at the blues if he had time. He told me that the guy has a REALLY nice candy blue that would probably match my car close to perfectly. Otherwise, the guy can color match it pretty good given a couple samples. So I have high hopes of finding the perfect color for my piping! It's a shame that it'll be another couple weeks before I take my piping apart. I kind of want to enjoy the car for a while before I rip it apart. However, I'm a pretty patient person so it is ALL GOOD. :D
The shop is a total shithole, but the guy really knew his stuff. We talked about all the different exhaust coatings available and I settled on the one that that is the same/similar to the silver coating Buschur uses on his exhaust manifolds and o2 housings. It held up ultra well on my IX so I figured I'd go with it again; plus he said it has the best thermal properties of them all and it's so durable you can hit it with metal polish.

The Powdercoating Guy?!

Yup, I've heard the same thing. Shop is a complete mess, but the guy knows his stuff.

I'll find out firsthand eventually, lol!

LOL!

The Powdercoating Guy?!
LOL yup! Powdercoating, ceramic coatings, dry lubricant coatings, etc. It's in what appears to be an older part of Arlington. His shop actually looked very similar to Jeff's, expect with coating ovens/booths rather than alignment/tire machines.

So I had a great deal come up that I just couldn't refuse...despite not wanting to spend more money on Deadmau5X.

I picked up a used set of Eibach Prokits from an NTEC member. I'll be getting them on Thursday.

Also since I was kind of pumped that I got such a great deal on them, I told Kracka to hit up Bill@MAP to hook me up with a Whiteline rear swaybar.

So look for updates on those things in the upcoming week. :D

You might want to do an RCK later on. I'm still debating about having a PSRS installed for more caster.

Nice, I fully support this combo :) Sure you don't wanna do bilsteins while you have it apart? :D :D :D

^Bilsteins would be really nice but I think I'll hold off on those. It looks like that guy doesn't want to part out just the Bilsteins anyways. Thanks for the link though!

Maybe someone in NTEC will want to sell theirs some day or maybe some local with a GSR SE will want to upgrade to coilovers. Either way, I'll wait it out and see. :)

Maybe I'll get a killer deal on Bilsteins later on too. For $130.50...it would have been just plain stupid NOT to buy the Prokits...plus they're already settled. ;)

What size is that exhaust? 3" then splits to dual 2.5" ?
